All Mohajirs are not Urdu speaking: Shahi Syed

KARACHI: President, Awami National Party (ANP) Sindh, Shahi Syed said that it was a wrong perception to recognize all Urdu speaking people as Mohajirs or every Mohajir as Urdu speaking.

Shahi Syed said this in a statement issued from Bacha Khan Centre here on Thursday that the count of Mohajireen from East and West Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir were more than in millions as compared to Urdu speaking people.
The ANP leader said that we highly oblige the existence of all nationalities and all segments of society without any kind of discrimination on the bases of race, color, language and caste.
He maintained that Urdu speaking community and Wali Khan Baba jointly supported Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah during presidential election in 1965. Political leaders should demonstrate tolerance, patience and respect towards each other despite mud slinging.
Shahi Syed further added that Army operation in Karachi has always been the demand of ANP and the party also demanded to re-set constituencies in the city and to remove reservations of all political parties by holding fresh elections in the city. Online
